Based on the previews, this RHOP Recap may not be all that interesting. I’m not even going to pretend to recap Candiace looking at a $2.5 million dollar home. In other news, my cable service crapped out just before this episode started and the DVR is all kinds of messed up.
We start with Gizelle trying to make Ashley Darby believe that she has her back. She clearly does not. I wish that she and Robyn would support Ashley, but I don’t see that happening this season. However, even I can’t co-sign Ashley’s dark wig she wears in her talking heads. Please let that be a wig. And that we never see it again. Nevertheless, these three go out to Gizelle’s new property to christen the land. And to gossip about everyone who isn’t there.
Katie Rost Has Been Fired
The first piece of gossip is about Katie and how she talks crap about Ashley and Michael behind their backs. But the big news is it seems that Katie has been fired from RHOP! I think they realized this season that her mental health issues are a liability. She is not even allowed to attend the reunion. Personally, I think this is for the best. Katie is very unwell. And Ashley says that Candiace sent nasty texts to Monique about her and Michael. Gizelle and Robyn seem pissed that Candiace was sold out. That’s kind of not the point if you are Ashley’s friends. Which they are not.

I do not understand the scenes with Ray and Karen’s family. Is this the house they don’t live in? Karen is talking about her nonexistent perfume. Karen’s son seems smart and normal.
Fathers and Babies
Michael and Ashley go out for sushi. I guess I am the last person on earth who doesn’t eat bait. They talked about moving on from the unfortunate situation Michael was in. Ashley says she wants to go see her father in Atlanta. She is planning on going with her mother. Michael is not on board with the plan at all. Ashley is in contact with her aunt, Shelia who lives in Georgia as well. She seems supportive of Ashley but not so optimistic about the meetup with her father.

Monique’s water breaks much earlier than expected. And chaos ensues. Actually, it seems like a reenactment. Monique screams her husband’s name and he asks the kids if someone is calling him. The phonecalls also looked fake. How did she get her doctor on the phone so fast? Oh it was a prank?! Who does that? Especially someone who already lost a baby! What is wrong with people?
An Actual Gala!?
How did this group of hooligans get invited to attend and film at an actual charity event? No one actually knows what the charity is for. Katie doesn’t even know where she is. But she has brought her mother with her. It’s seems Katie’s apple landed very near the tree, if you know what I mean. Apparently, it was Katie and her mom that had the actual invitation to the charity. Katie’s husband tells a weird story about Michael telling him some like if he ever calls him and is on another call, he will answer. It makes no sense at all.

Anyway, we are going to trash talk Michael at this event. That is apparently the point. Oh and Robyn and Gizelle want to throw Monique under the bus for showing Ashley the mean texts Candiace sent about Michael. Candiace says Monique doesn’t even like Ashley.
Ashley & Her Mom Head To Atlanta
Ashley and her mom meet Aunt Shelia and her husband, Jim, at a restaurant. They seem like nice people. Jim doesn’t really endorse this entire meetup. Ashley on the other hand is so jacked up about this. Ashley is ramping up my anxiety by driving with zero hands on the wheel. I’m literally going to have a panic attack.
We end with Ashley approaching the door. And Some dumb fuck is knocking on mine at 9pm!!!
Next week, Robyn wants to take truck driving lessons. Candiace and her mother go to lunch at a winery, Monique goes head to head with Gizelle and Robyn.
Candiace has a Trust? I don’t believe it for one minute. You can afford to be looking at $2.5 million dollar homes but you still live in your Mother’s house? FAKE!
Watching Candiace look at $2.5 million homes was pathetic. It was as pathetic as watching Nene look for houses in Miami when there was no way her and Gregg would relocate there. What the hell would they do in Miami?
Why would she live in her mom’s house with all that turmoil if she had another alternative…she’s so full of shit…Katie look crazy at that benefit. .. Hope her new boo gets her the help she needs..or her mother.
Totally agree with. I think her mother might have told her there is a trust but there really isn’t one. Also why would her mother need a room in their house if she already owns a house. I am glad that Chris is sensible cause you can tell Candiass lives above her means. How about getting a condo or a small house and work your way up.
Will watch tommorow before work. Sorry to hear about Katie being let go but if she is unwell it’s not right for her to be filming during such a difficult time. Afraid Ashley is going to get rejected by her dad & that’s not something I am looking forward to seeing. I really like Monique & Chris on this show. Both seem to be very good parents & have really big hearts.
I agree, I really enjoy watching them as well. They really look like they have there shit together. The others seem jealous of her on the show. She’s happy and it shows. He’s retired now, so he has all the time in the world for her and the kids. His mother is jealous of her too!
My darling TT, watching these women is so freaking draining! How you watch and recap-I don’t know! How ever thank you and hail to the Queen! 👸
Trust fund, multiple businesses, and looking at $2.5 million homes? Candiace is as delusional as Katie.
Did anyone else hear Katie slip up and say that “Girl, we’re going to have to pay our own mortgages and everything!” when Katie and Candiace’s mom’s were talking about boundaries and therapy.
I think Katie’s boyfriend may actually be a family paid “minder” to keep an eye on her. Just a theory.
I heard Katie say that too.
Not much to say about this episode but I would like to say that I think when the couples went out to dinner, although Gizelle is messy, Karen should not have made such a derogatory statement about Gizelle being divorced. That was wrong in making statements about that. She wants it to appear that everyone should look up to her and Ray, but PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN’T THROW STONES.
I really like Monique and Chris and I’m liking Monique more and more. As for Gizelle and Robyn they are so messy and such big haters this season. It’s obvious they are not true friends to Ashley. As for Ashley she is going to be so heartbroken with her father (been there). I hope that I am wrong but I don’t think so. I did even hear that Katie got fired, I would love some details. The wigs alone tell you something ain’t right with her.
I just love 😍watching Monique’s family on the show. They bring so much to the show. They really seem happy together as a family. I think some of the other ladies are jealous of her especially Gizelle. Watch your back Monique. You need your own family show. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. 🧐
Here is where I mentioned some of Katie’s issues. Her kids were taken away from her. Then she had a miscarriage that she posted videos of on IG. It’s a lot.

It was her boyfriend at the time that posted the pics of the miscarriage. Nonetheless there is something going on with Katie and always has been. She’s now engaged to someone new and living in LA. Robyn did an IG live last night and said that Katie is actually doing better and is in a different place to when they were filming. I hope she’s correct.
what was that bit from katie about ashley and michael selling the restaurant? did i mishear her?
I wondered about that too. I’ve heard in the past it wasn’t doing well.
The restaurant is closed.
Thanks for letting us know. I figured that Kangaroo is not popular in DC.
Ashley posted about it on IG a few days before her baby arrived.
I had always wondered if the restaurant was just to keep her busy until there was a baby.
I live a couple blocks away from the restaurant and never understood how it stayed open for so long. It was always empty except when they were filming and even then it was just them and the camera crew.
Looks like they just closed at the end of June. I looked up Michael’s real estate firm, Monument Realty, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t crying on their way to the bank. It sounds like he made some great decisions betting on projects that drastically increased in value. I think I’m actually impressed!
Karen’s perfume did come out and it was in Bloomingdale’s–Don’t know if it still is.
I really don’t know what someone like Gizelle gets out of being so messy all the time, and how she gets away with it. I thought I liked her but after watching 3 or 4 episodes in a row I’m not impressed. Robin looks like she would be cool but how can she just stupidly go along w everything Gizelle does? Candiace – Whoo. What a hot ass mess. Her poor husband. So much anger and delusion. Eventually she will realize it’s NEVER gonna work with your toxic abusive narcissist mother. I’m fascinated and uncomfortable watching this cuz it reminds me of my own mom. Also I’m from the DC area (Bethesda to be exact – hi Gizelle) and not a single one of them is living in Potomac this season. Not that Potomac actually means anything to most people in DC. Monique and her husband and her family are lovely. Maybe Gizelle and her minion are jealous cuz she really seems to have it all.
I’ve heard the same thing about Monique and Chris from someone I know that lives near them. Lovely couple and very charitable. Gizelle is jealous because Monique is the only one that actually is a real housewife with the funds to back it up. It’s very sad and clear from Moniques first scene that Gizelle was jealous.
Gizelle and Robin are jealous of Ashley’s youth and beauty. Karen is a pretty older woman who appears to be jealous of everyone because of their ages. She can dish criticism, but she can’t take it. She seems to be like a volcano ready to erupt at any time. I didn’t like Monique when she was ‘running ‘ with Karen because Monique needs friends in her own age bracket. I hope she will remain Ashley’s friend. Monique is the only sincere person who is not threatened by the other non-moneyed women on the show.
Lastly, I can’t understand why Gizelle and Robin want so badly for Ashley to receive bad news and bad publicity. They are so hateful. They hunger for something bad to befall Ashley.
Remember when Ashley attacked Robin’s marriage or relationship whatever she’s in. Robin’s still Angry.
I’m wondering what Ashley’s dad is like if even her mother, who has been shown to be a shoddy parent herself, kept her away from him? As much as I dislike her and her nasty ways, I hope she gets what ever resolution she needs next week as no child should ever feel like their parent doesn’t want or love them.
Candiace is messy as hell and is a complete brat but Gizelle and her sidekick are something else. Like Ashley, every season they take great pleasure in everyone elses discomfort and personal issues. It’s written all over their faces. I’m glad Monique has started clapping back at them on Twitter.
Gizelle is really bothered by Monique. It seems like she is jealous of her.
I’ve always thought that Gizelle was/is jealous of Monique. Monique has everything Gizelle wishes she had – a loving husband, money and youth. Her eyes are definitely “green with envy” and I feel that’s why she hates on Monique so much.
OMG can we just talk about the nude portrait in Monique’s closet of herself and Chris??? In the closet!
Even though I sort of remembered that Ashley is biracial, it didn’t really click for me until I saw Aunt Sheila that her dad is white, and may be literally ashamed of having had a child with a black woman? I hope not, obviously, but it feels like everyone on camera is trying not to come out and say state that as a possible explanation.
I was thinking the same thing. I hope reality does not slap Ashley in the face, especially on camera. She has received fair warnings.
I wasn’t even thinking of race being the issue with Ashley’s father; I was thinking more along the lines of drugs or mental illness. The way his sister Sheila & her husband were talking about him it sounded like he’s got some serious issues.
Loved loved loved Gizelle’s house. Ugly houses are my obsession. My family has banned me from driving certain neighborhoods for fear of me buying another one. After carrying 4 mortgages who’s really counting????? Although, watching Robin flip a house is giving me anxiety. I do not see how she’s going to make a dime off her house. I have to do almost all the labor myself to make it feasible. Her carrying cost alone could sink her.
On another note: Candice, please stop letting people that clearly hate you do your make up.
Also, “I’m Rick James bitch” is all I think of when Ashley has that blunt cut look.
Her interview hair reminded me of Diablo from Orange Is The New Black. 🙈🤣
“I’m Rick James bitch” HAHAHAHAAA
kept thinking Rihanna
I feel like this show may be on the way out. Are the ratings ok? I rarely fast forward anything on bravo – but for this one it’s the only way to get through it. Even Katie was dull this season. Ashley is the only one who holds my interest. And Juan. His dimples are the best!
No, TT, you are not the only one left in the world who does not eat bait. The DH and I do not eat bait either. Including calamari. Why would one eat a squid when one can have scallops?
Unless it has tentacles, it’s probably bleached pig rectum. Another good reason to give it a hard pass. 😉
?
Gizelle and Robin were grinning with glee when they told Candiace that Monique disclosed their text messages to Ashley. smdh
Katie and Candiace have crazy mothers. I can’t stand Candiace. Does she think we believe her fantasy stories about wealth, trust funds and businesses. If she was just delusional I might feel sorry for her, but she is the most obnoxious of this group of women, hands down.
I feel bad for her 😞 husband. Candiace is very immature. She doesn’t like to listen. She just screams and yells aka “Hot head”. That marriage is not going to last. She better get a baby before he leaves. Every man likes to be heard. Candiace is child trying to act like a women. Please! Get her off the show. She brings nothing.
Wondering why she should “get a baby” in a marriage you don’t think will last? I also don’t think this marriage will last and very confused by this comment!
LOL Karen just tried to post that her perfume smells great.
The things you you are put through! I do hope you asked for a sample, it’s been a lot of years since I was into perfume, but always curious .
